    Controversy surrounding Fujian Grand Chip takeover bid

    A proposed takeover by Fujian Grand Chip was surrounded by allegations that a cancelled Sanan Optoelectronics order had helped depress Aixtron’s share price before the offer. German authorities withdrew approval, while U.S. national-security concerns contributed to the transaction’s abandonment. Public descriptions characterize the matter as a disputed and politically sensitive takeover episode; the acquisition was not completed.
